Author Description

Volume is indexed by Thomson Reuters CPCI-S (WoS).These are the proceedings of the 2012 International Conference on Civil Engineering and Material Engineering (CEME2012), August 25-26, Wuhan, China. The 90 peer reviewed paper are grouped as follows: Chapter 1: Material Application and Structure in Civil Engineering; Chapter 2: Mechanics Research in Civil Engineering and Material Engineering; Chapter 3: Environmental Material and Civil Engineering; Chapter 4: Material Engineering and its Application Technology. Many of the 90 papers in this collection consider areas where civil engineering and materials engineering overlap, but many others look at aspects in only one or the other. Among the topics are engineering properties of peaty soil in Kunming civil engineering, the resistance of structural optimization in a pipeline elbow in civil engineering, the effective slab width of a composite cable-stayed bridge under axial force, simulating the cracking behavior for fiber reinforced composite materials with different inclusion quantity, the influence of heat treatment on the magnetism of carbon coated iron nanoparticles, applying carbon fiber reinforced materials in sports equipment.
